So, create a mutual fund that operates as a blind trust, and allow
transfers free of capital gains tax into the fund when an employee
is hired.
For extra points, require everyone who gets a Federal salary
to participate, including Congress-folk and their staff.
Operate the fund so that when the US economy is doing well, and
unemployment is low, and other reasonable and measurable national
economic goals are met, all the participants benefit.
An incentive like that might attract to Washington more cluefull and
qualified people who are willing to cooperate so that the people of
the country benefit.
